Great Minds,
Today's talk is about the burning issue that poses a critical threat "to stop or not to stop doing good". Join me as I present facts and reasons why we should not stop doing good despite the pressure pulling us back and even commanding us to stop doing good.

It is now hard to see someone do good without any ulterior motives. By the way the desire and zeal to do good should be part and parcel of us. As a matter of fact it is pleasurable to do good. There is this inner Joy whenever you do good. There is this feeling of sweetness in you when you render a helping hand to someone in need. I also believe just as I do feel that majority have this craving for good doings. I mean under normal circumstances the tendency to help, to give and show some kindness is inherent in us. If given opportunity some will want to help.
Such help as giving a stranded person a lift in your car, buying food to an hungry man. Assisting a friend to pay school fees or helping to pay transport fare. Doing good can also include doing community service, removing a stone or obstruction from road. There are so many things, Good acts and good lifestyle begging for action and manifestation.
The question remains why are we not doing good any more? Why are people no more interested in rendering even the simple assistance that is within our reach. Why are fewer person doing good than those doing bad. These are questions that beg for answers.
Well, looking at our society and the recent happenings some reasons seem to give response to the questions so posed. These facts tend to justify restraints from good doings. They include but not limited to the following :
A. People pay evil for good
B. Good people don't last
C. Your good may be mistaken for wrong motive with hidden agenda hence, it could be rejected
D. The feeling of not receiving back the good doing
E. I don't have enough for myself
F. People criticize you and call you "too know" or give you other names.
If you look at the above lists, you will see that most of the reasons are perhaps baseless, selfish and mere criticism that you need to overlook. In fact some excuses people give themselves for not doing good are mythical and superstitious. You need to see beyond these reasons and keep doing good. Analysing these points, it is obvious that they are irrelevant. For instance, it is not more the case that people pay evil for good. In fact, every good work is rewarded though most times the reward or receptive good are not immediate but it must come, a little patience and continuous good deeds will reveal it. So don't stop the good doing.
It is a common talk or can I say careless talk that good people don't last. This is definitely a wrong statement and carries no truth. Good people last. By the way life is not measured by length of time lived but by quality of life lived, how much life you touched and helped. You are being remembered by your good deed not your years on Earth. So don't stop doing good.
Some people simply don't do good because they just feel, he will think I am doing to get something back. Advice, do the good and forget whether it is mistaken for something else. So long you have a clear mind relax and see the joy flow in you. Don't stop good doing it will surely pay off.
Some people feel they must get back immediate good favour for the good they are doing and when not getting back, they feel discouraged and stop doing good. Pls don't stop doing good. Do it as if you are doing it for God and in due season you will reap the result.

Some complain that they don't have enough hence, they don't give. But like I said earlier, doing good involves so many aspects. You can start with the little you have, you can share your time to encourage. Just don't stop doing good.
People don't do good again because of criticism. They simply can't take what people say, calling them "too know" . My dear if you want to succeed don't see criticism as stop to a just cause but as a learning point and a push to do more.
The points remain it is more blessings to give than to receive. Next time you want to refuse giving or refuse rendering an assistance put yourself in the place of the person needing the help.
Think of the overflowing joy that comes with good doing. It can not be quantified. Besides, life is programmed in such a way that we all need help one way or the other. No man is an island and no one can provide for all his needs. If you give help, you will surely receive help going forward. At any level you are and the more opportunity available to you, keep doing good and don't stop it and surely you will not get stranded when in need. The world will be a better place if we all live doing good. Find someone today and do him good.
